Operating Modes
A stand-alone mode will listen to sound and run through its diverse range of built in programs.
Master/Slave mode will allow the command of up to as many units you want in a synchronized light show to the
sound.
DMX control mode will provide the greatest flexibility and creativity. Each fixture trait can be controlled individually
using any universal DMX-512 controller.
Stand Alone
The Stand Alone mode is activated automatically when the fixture is absent of DMX signal or a
controller is not connected. The fixture will run through its built in programs as it listens to the sound.
Set all dipswitches in the OFF position.
Master/Slave
The Master/Slave mode will allow you to link up to as many units you want in a daisy chain fashion. In
this mode, the first unit in the daisy chain will automatically command all other units following.
Connecting this fixture for (Master/Slave) operation does not require any menu or setting selections.
Simply connect each unit in a daisy like fashion using qualified 3 pin DMX cables as described below.
